Film Review

Elf

The film elf is a pg13,

4 star Christmas comedy film which was set in New York city and was produced in 2003.

The story line is about a human raised by elves who set

Himself the task to find out who his real parents are as he felt

Like he did not fit in amongst the elves as they all worked much faster than he could.

The actor Will ferrell had to retake the scene where he ate the spaghetti with syrup and m and m just to get the right take and he kept on throwing up in between films which shows his worth ethic to getting the scene to be as perfect as possible.

The producers use of special effects was good when Buddy managed to make the whole store all festive when he decorated it all.

The use of special effects was amazing in the use of making the North pole look like santa's home.

In my opinion the best scene in the film is when Elf travelled from the North pole all the way to New york city and he went through some traumatic experiences.

Because of some of the scenes in the film i would recommend this film to age 6 and above.
